Code

The hexadecimal numbers corresponding to the XON/XOFF codes are shown below.

XON code: 11H

XOFF code: 13H

When the printer goes from offline to online and the receive buffer is full, XON is not transmitted.

CAUTION When the printer goes from online to offline and the receive buffer is full, XOFF is not transmitted.

When DIP switch 1-3 is off, XON is not transmitted as long as the printer is offline, even if a receive buffer full state has been cleared.
